A writer must be a witness to their time.
Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one.
如果你看到一个巨大的变革性机会,不要疑虑其他人为什么没有采取行动。你可能看到了他人没有看到的东西。问题越严峻,竞争就越有限,对问题解决者的回报就越大。
The writer of originality, unless dead, is always shocking, scandalous; novelty disturbs and repels.
有独创性的作家,除非死了,否则总是令人震惊、令人愤慨的;新奇的事物会扰乱和排斥。
永远不是失败,永远是一课。
文学的力量在于它能够揭示人性的深处。
"Books can be dangerous. The best ones should be labeled 'This could change your life.'"
